Monitoring audio levels
While you're recording, Vegas provides a responsive meter in the track
header to monitor the incoming signal level of the selected recording
device. It is important that you record with the highest signal possible
without clipping.
A reading of 0 dB is the maximum for a digital signal. Clipping occurs when the incoming signal is too high
to be represented as a digital value. The result is distortion in the recording. A clipped signal will be
indicated by a red Clip warning at the top of the meters.
Right-click the meters and choose a command from the shortcut menu to adjust the display of the meters.
